42nd Annual Erich Lindemann Memorial Lecture

There are always times in human experience that feel especially troubled and threatening. Ours certainly presents problems from the personal level (substance use disorder, discrimination and injustice, socioeconomic inequality) to the world stage (war, oppression, refugee migration, economic aggression). How do children survive and mature in this threatening, depriving, and changing environment? What are their internal and family resources, and those from their natural communities and professionally planned programs? How can planners and clinicians make a positive difference? We present people who have lived and worked through this world to offer perspectives on what is happening and how we can help.
